Peugeot 308 R HYbrid Is a AWD 500 hp Concept Car

Peugeot 308 R HYbrid Concept

 Since its launch, the Peugeot 308 has won over more than 280,000 connoisseurs across the world thanks to qualities that are unheard of in segment C. As it presses ahead with its internationalisation strategy, the marque is present at the Shanghai motor show to launch its new 308 S, built and marketed in China. 

Regardless of body style and engine fit, the Peugeot 308 is renowned for its high performance, boosted by the versatility of its EMP2 platform. Peugeot Sport has now developed a new plug-in petrol hybrid powertrain on this same base. The 500 hp power and the four-wheel drive push back the boundaries of sporting prowess in the segment, offering truly extraordinary performance. Peugeot 308 R HYbrid is also the revelation of a unique interior design with four individual seats and sleek lines pared in blue and black.

"The Peugeot 308 is a definite commercial success. It has already received 24 awards, including the prestigious Car of the Year 2014. Peugeot 308 is reaffirming its status as a global car with the launch of the new 308S in China. In fact, with the 308 R Hybrid version, it becomes the brand's icon." Maxime Picat, Managing Director at Peugeot

"Peugeot Sport's expertise applies an uncompromising approach to meeting targets. With our experience in hybrid vehicles developed with the Peugeot 908, the high-performance hybrid powertrain fitted to the 308 gives a glimpse of the potential for ultra-sports models in the future." Bruno Famin, Director at Peugeot Sport
